The Juno-106 was the third model in Roland's Juno series of analog synthesizers following the Roland Juno-6 and Roland Juno-60, with whom the Juno-106 shared many common features and components, with the notable differences of MIDI connectivity and more than double the patch storage, all housed in a cosmetically updated modernized chassis. The Juno-106 was Roland's best-selling synthesizer until its numbers were surpassed by those of the D-50 later the same decade.
The Roland Juno-60 is a popular 61-key polyphonic synthesizer introduced by Roland Corporation in September 1982, as a successor to the similar Roland Juno-6, which had been on the market since February that year.

DCB was a proprietary data interchange interface by Roland Corporation, developed in 1981 and introduced in 1982 in their Roland Juno-60 and Roland Jupiter-8 products. DCB functions were basically the same as MIDI, but unlike MIDI, DCB could provide note on/off, program change and vcf/vca control only. DCB-to-MIDI adapters were produced for a number of early Roland products. The DCB interface was made in 2 variants, the earlier one used 20-pin sockets and cables, later switching to the 14-pin Amphenol DDK connector vaguely resembling a parallel port.

Casio's SD Synthesizers were a late-1980s line of hybrid digital-analog synthesizers featuring a resonant analog filter. SD synthesis was very similar to traditional DCO-analog synthesis, with the main difference being that some of the SD digital waveforms' harmonic spectrums changed temporally, or dynamically in relation to the amplitude envelope. SD synthesis is used in six Casio synthesizers and home keyboards released in 1987 and produced until 1991, when Casio exited the synthesizer market completely and focused solely on pure consumer keyboards. Due to some programming limitations plus Casio's poor marketing, the SD synths never gained wide popularity and are now fairly rare in the second-hand marketplace. There still exists a small but devoted fanbase who insist that SD synthesis, particularly as expanded in the high-end model HT-6000, was overlooked and highly underrated.
